Good, I'd rather Houston. I'd take a Pickett straight swap over Luko + the pick too.There's zero chance we're turning Houston into Luko plus a top 10 pick. Won't happen.
If both clubs feel hard done by it’s a good tradeYou’d think we could make this happen. He was from the same U18 cohort as Mead and seems close to him, and would have a chance to play at his uncle’s club alongside both Jase and Rome Burgoyne, and in a forward line with SPP and Rioli in 2025. On the surface of it, it looks like a better fit for him than Melbourne is for Houston.
If we can convince him that now is the time to request a trade, it should make it a very clean transaction.
I wouldn’t expect either party to ask for more. Pickett is younger but Houston is the better, more proven player currently and has 4+ years of very strong footy ahead of him.
Don’t know much about Draper but there’s clearly hype here. Is he on par with Phillipou?I'd be happy with Draper and Luko for Houston or Draper and another first round pick.
The draft has a fair whack of talent and we could go all in and try to pick up two or even three young players to complement Benny and the Father/Son hauls.
Draper well in front of Phillipou as a junior in my eyes.Don’t know much about Draper but there’s clearly hype here. Is he on par with Phillipou?
Why are you so confident Oliver is going to the crows and for their first pick?
Haven’t heard much about the trade and surely no one’s handing over pick 4 for Oliver (unless he comes with half a tonne of coke as a part of the deal).

Sure, just wanted to see if you had anything new from last year.Last year they offered the farm for Oliver.
Crows midfield options don't look great at present. Crows have had Zero success in attracting midfield talent. Crows have said their 1st pick is up for grabs.
Oliver in form (he is playing with a broken hand at present) would improve their midfield no end.
Oliver is the piece of the jigsaw puzzle they are missing.
Crows can't waste 3 years developing a mid from the draft and the last dozen or so Andrew McLeod's haven't worked out.
Oliver will be at the Crows next year.
What do you think Melbourne will want for him?
West coast will take him?Last year they offered the farm for Oliver.

I dont think they would want to exit him if he has a broken hand and they are trying to load up with Houston for another premiership.
Don’t think the crowd offer 4. Maybe next years first at a stretch.
West coast will take him?
If the Crows are willing to ship off their first pick, then they don't think they can get the top rated SA kid with it.I'd be happy with Draper and Luko for Houston or Draper and another first round pick.

I think he looks better than Phillipou but a different beast.Don’t know much about Draper but there’s clearly hype here. Is he on par with Phillipou?
The Crows will be desperate for an A grader in the midfield to go with Dawson as they've been out of the 8 for a long time.Last year they offered the farm for Oliver.

I dunno.If the Crows are willing to ship off their first pick, then they don't think they can get the top rated SA kid with it.
Which means we'd need to give up something significant on top of Melbourne's first.
If we get Draper, we're going to be giving up Dan Houston + more for him.
And that would be just the worst choice out.
If the crows give their first for Oliver, they should fold
crows are all out on a midfielder this year. I think if they had made finals this year they may actually have weighed up draft pick vs established mid, but they are desperate to make finals next year and a first year mid, no matter how talented, is unlikely to assist in that particularly given other potential crows outsPosted this earlier in the thread, but the media belief is the Crows have their first pick on the table for a top shelf midfield talent and they are still keen on Oliver.
